MBTI & Enneagram: INFJ, 01 – the Reformer
Analysis: deliberate and forthcoming, flexible, reserved in judgement, values meaningful and deep connections with others, resilient but slow to trust, perceptive but somewhat oblivious to social pleasantries, has a tumultuous inner world, reflective and ready to lend an ear, sincere in her actions, obstinate and steadfast, resolute in her pursuit of collective goals.

Mental History: T’Aria is an even-tempered woman whose tolerant no-nonsense attitude affords her remarkable patience and diplomacy. She often resorts to an inflexible, judicious position in social settings that enables her to navigate otherwise overstimulating environments. Elsewhere, she appears tranquil and deeply invested in others’ well-being. That isn’t to suggest she is above banter. T’Aria is blunt, though time and experience have tempered her callous. As a leader, she assumes a facilitative role that values interconnection and communication. Her history, however, has instilled in her a wariness toward intimacy and emotional commitment that often distances her from those under her command. She often appears cold and detached. Although T’Aria is actively working to dismantle and unlearn her self-isolating behaviours, she finds it increasingly difficult to grapple with the emotions they helped her subdue.
